Southwest striking fault, so down here, and that part has moved into the 7.1. >> reporter: do you know what kind of earthquake it was yet? >> what do you mean what kind of earthquake? strike slip, that is something we can get from the seismic records quickly. >> just to follow along with that, yesterday, it was a lateral strike slip, which actually released some depression on what we think is the fault that rupture this evening. at the 7.1. this event, presumably is a right striking slip. but basically motion is horizontal. again, with this magnitude and this length, the expectations of a serv...

The 4.1 or 7. that's the fore shock, but it's only 5 miles in-depth. that's considered extremely shallow. that means more energy can be dispersed. she talked about high frequency. that's more violent shaking and then low frequency those are the wave actions you feel and its outwards further. she talked about how it traveled about 10 miles on the fault line. that's because this was called a strike slip. that means the two parcels of land kept horizontal not like a thrust where one is pushed on below the other. the shake map came out, and i know this is difficult to see so i'm going to read thes...

it's not clear if he'll attend the hearing. one person who will is deborah. she says she hopes manson will be there. >> i think that he needs to look into our eyes, victim's eyes and see the pain that he's caused. i think that is something that is essential to his coming to peace, perhaps before he passes. as you said, this is probably going to be his last parole hearing. >> we are monitoring the hearing in california and will bring developments as they happen. in a couple hours, we are going to hear from trayvon martin's parents. they are expected to speak at a news conference. atto...

Then the water backs up and it begins moving? >> right. it's basically a slip fault or a strike slip that happens underwater and causes a wave to occur and push water away from it like you see in a bathtub or swimming pool and that's what hit areas of japan first. came across and hit some islands in hawaii and now have made it ashore in california but when's interesting is that as it spreads out it's not the same impact all along the coast. there's a greater impact. if you look at that modeling there's a little bit of redness that occurs up to the north part of the state which is in that cresc...

Sink, and take your hands and put them in theres and if you do this kind of motion and look at the surface of the water, you will create a tsunami to displace the water. but if you do this, you will pop the water up. that is a more significant displacement of water, an therefore, you will get a more significant tsunami, and the difference in haiti is that we had the strike slip. here, we have what we call the convergent plates, and this is the south american plate, the nazca plate which is moving essentially all year here. what we have is when the pressure is beginning to build, and build, and...
